Chapter Four – The Date

I could barely contain my laughter as people continued to stare. Of course, Misa didn't notice; I don't think she minded the attention at all. Ryuuzaki, however, was the main item that deserved laughter. As people watched him, he would glare, and they would turn their heads, as if scared. But I could always see those same heads sneaking another glance at the odd trio. Immediately I knew this was the best choice I could have asked for.

Misa was being a bitch, to put it bluntly. No, not the slang definition meaning… well, if you're a teenager you probably know. I'm refraining from saying the definition in case we have rule breakers here who are under the "teen" age. I mean literally, a bitch, a female dog. She was wearing a pair of puppy ears and running around, barking at people. This brought more attention to us, and Ryuuzaki proceeded to deliver more glares. We decided to go on a roller coaster and waited several minutes in line before reaching the actual ride.

So then there was the argument of who would sit with who.

Misa, of course, wanted to sit with me, but I protested, saying that Ryuuzaki and I were chained and that he wouldn't have brought the key. But, again, to my horror, he whipped out the key and unchained me. The detective then pushed me into the seat with Misa, saying something about chaining me again afterwards. So for five minutes, I sat next to a clingy teenage girl. What fun. What made it even more "enjoyable" was the fact that she was screaming her ass off (in my ear, may I point out), and that Ryuuzaki in front of us held his arms up in the air in mock enthusiasm, the handcuffs flying behind him and whacking me in the face. Oh, he'd get it when we got back to the building.

Afterwards, we stood and Ryuuzaki calmly but efficiently snapped the handcuffs back on. From the unnerved stares I saw from the corner of my eyes, I could probably guess what was happening. "Wtf? Is that hunchback like, a detective or something? And why's he chained to that tall (or hot, if they were female or gay) dude?" I really did my best to keep my face calm as always. And I think I did.

But anyway, we were going around on rides in the same manner: Ryuuzaki would let me off if it was a roller coaster so I could sit in front of Misa, then sat in front of us so that I would be knocked senseless by those stupid handcuffs. He'd definitely get it back at the building.

Late in the afternoon, after I had figured out that I could escape the handcuffs by simply wrapping the chain around Ryuuzaki's seat (why I couldn't figure that earlier was probably due to the brain damage said handcuffs had caused my intellect), Misa had started complaining that she was hungry.

"Yes, Raito-kun," Ryuuzaki agreed. "Let's go eat."

Oh, no. Oh, no way in HELL was I taking him out to eat. He was going to get his sweets, and he'd be enjoying the moment while I suffered! So instead, I said this:

"Misa, let's go eat later, okay? We'll eat back at the building. But for now, let's go on some more rides together," I said, turning my head suggestively to the ferris wheel. Way too easy. Now Ryuuzaki wouldn't have his precious sweets, and to hell with his needs; it's his fault he decided to let me go on this date and he'd regret it.

So now, we're in line for the ferris wheel. The sun is beginning to set.

Misa is chattering as usual. Ryuuzaki is giving out subtle glares as usual. I'm sitting here just being me, as usual. Nothing out of the ordinary. Then I felt a chill down my spine. Or actually, through my arm. I had a feeling that Ryuuzaki was sending me bad vibes (excuse my hippie-ness) through the handcuffs. I glanced at him to see him motioning towards me. I leaned over slightly so I was in earshot.

"Why does Raito-kun insist on torturing me today?" He hissed in my ear.

I smiled lightly, as if laughing about a joke. "Well, didn't you agree to the date? I'm merely making plans." I switched to an act of surprise and worry. "Does the setting disturb you?" I challenged.

It seems he heard the hidden challenge. If you couldn't perceive the message, I was daring him to go the whole day in crowds and without sweets. And, to my enjoyment, he agreed. It took everything I could to not laugh.

I had a feeling the rest of today wouldn't be as long as I thought.


Whoo. There you go. : I personally like this chapter. Especially Raito's being knocked senseless by the handcuffs. I swear, that was genius of me... x Anyway, if you like, please review or something. Just let me know! If you don't, this story shall meet the same fate as my first one... DEAD :) Just kidding. This is too fun to write! It's like being a genius:D
